what does the bottle say? if you dont have one ill go look at mine

 

I don't have any right now. I was going to pick up some tomorrow.

 

it says dont use on plastic unless pre aproved by manuf.

 

I put it on my "well used" Ranger windshield, which is polycarbonate. I read the bottle, and saw the note about plastic, but though i would give it a try on the bottom piece as a test. It doesn't dis-color anything and seems to work. i did the whole thing and it seems to work well.

 

Use it on mine and so far so good

 

I bought a full windshield from EMP and with it came a sample of All Kleer for plastic windshields. It is made by the Black Lab Corp. Says it cleans,polishes,repels dust and inhibits fogging. When I applied it, it left a smooth feel and while riding this past weekend the water just rolled off with no problem. Just my 2 cents.

 

From my Goldwing motorcycle days, Rain-X is made for glass only. It will dull the finish on 'plastic' (poly, etc) windshields.

I used a good quality wax on the windsheild of the bike and it worked pretty good.

There are other products like Rain-X for plastic.

 

Thanks guys for the info. I'm going to see if I can find another product that will work on polycarbonate. I will let you know if I find something.

 

denatured alcohol works well. i've used it alot in my rc hobby on the lexan car bodies to clean them before painting.

 

Went to the GL1800riders.com (Goldwing) forum and did a search and found that the most recommended was Plexus, Novus, or Rejex for motorcycle windshields.

Several recommended a good quality wax. That's what I did to mine. Makes the bugs easy to get off and sheds water.

 

Has anyone figured out a nationwide source for plexus so you don't have to buy a whole case?

 

Try these guys. Prices are competitive and service is great.

Plexus Part Number: PLE-20214X - Direct Line Parts

Not associated with them, etc.

They run the Goldwing forum.

 

I just ordered some Plexus. Thanks L-Ray

I used the Rain-X spray foam cleaner/protector this morning. It didn't say anything on the can about not using on poly. I'll post my opinion next week.

 

I've used a whole bottle(on my 2nd one now) of Rain-X on mine. Looks as good as new.

 

I think when they say don't use on plastic they mean stuff like plexiglass. I think poly is a little tougher than that stuff.

 

plexus i swear ny that stuff that and maxima sc1 on black plastics

 

I just bought a can of plexus. We use it on the Plexiglas windows on our helicopter at work. Very expensive stuff, over $20 a can. I know it's good for cleaning and helps hide minor scratches.

 

I just ordered mine, how long does a can if this last ?

 

I know this is an old thread, but I used rain-x on my goggles a few weeks ag (brand new pair of Scott brand). Well, as I rode, I kept getting some kind of debris inside the lens (it was at night) and once we stopped, I realized it was the foam dust filter on the top and bottom breaking down and turned it to powder. My slip streamer brand windshield says not to use it and says it will cause "crazing" whatever that word means?

 

I use honda pro clean. Used it on harleys for years. Know of others who use pledge and swear by it. When I run out my wifes pledge may go missing. LOL
